Quiz bowlers must be quick on the draw
Question A: What is the main currency of India?
Question B: What is the longest day of the year?
Question C: True or False: The Northern Hemisphere of the world is made up of more water than the Southern Hemisphere.
Try to think of an answer to one of these questions in 15 seconds or less.
Then use the same amount of time to come up with the next answer.
And the next.
Once your brain begins to feel like a ping-pong ball, you might have a taste of what it's like to compete on a junior- or senior-high quiz bowl team.
Gothenburg eighth-grader Carson Messersmith likes the academic challenge of quiz bowl.
And you have to be quick.
"You have to be ready to go from the first minute you start competition," Carson said.
Jessica Schmidt agreed, noting that kids who play a lot of video games have an advantage because they are used to clicking—fast.
"It's not fair, " Schmidt said with a laugh.
Schmidt enjoys the tournament at the end of the season which—this year—will be March 8 at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
"It's a challenge to see how we'll do against other people," Schmidt said.
During the competition, two teams of six members each compete standing at a table with buzzers.
A judge asks a "toss-up" question about geography, religion, mythology, science, philosophy, math, literature, history or fine arts.
The first team member who hits a buzzer and answers the question correctly receives five points for the team.
If an answer is incorrect, the other team gets a chance to answer.
Teams also get a bonus question, worth 10 points, in which members can confer with each other before answering in 15 seconds or less.
If it's a math question, paper and pencil can be used but only on bonus questions.
After a certain number of questions are answered and answered correctly, the team with the most points wins.
Teresa Messermith, K-2 principal and special education co-director, coaches the team.
Teresa said balance is key to coaching.
"You don't want them to guess at answers all the time but you also don't want to inhibit their willingness to try and answer a question," she explained. "I try to validate the right answers."
Teresa also has to try and find a time to practice which is usually from 7-7:45 a.m. twice a week.
Her goal is to get the team through as many practice questions as possible—complete with experience using buzzers—to provide a realistic competitive setting.
"I want them exposed to a variety of questions," she said. "I also want them to understand how quiz bowl works."
Most students who compete build confidence to speak comfortably in front of peers, adults and at competition, Teresa said.
"It also increases their overall knowledge and strengthens them academically," she explained.
Schmidt described competition as nerve wracking because "all the people are watching you."
Carson said he stares at the buzzer or another focal point to focus and prevent nervousness.
To become a member of quiz bowl, students grades six through eight must be recommended by a teacher or recognized as a high ability learner.
They then must take a test and score high enough to be invited to join.
Teresa coached quiz bowl while at Eustis-Farnam Public Schools for 11 years and four years in Gothenburg.
For her, it's exciting to see kids compete academically.
"There are not many opportunities for students who are academically strong to shine and perform," Teresa said. "This is an avenue for them to do that."
It's also rewarding, she said, to see kids having fun competing academically as they work their brains.
Trenton Long, an eighth grader, likes the challenge of doing something he doesn't normally get to do during a regular school day.
Because team members have different strengths in terms of knowledge base, Carson said there's a lot the team can accomplish.
"You can go from trivia to geography to history to science to English," he said, noting that his favorite areas are geography and history.
Sixth grader Gage Taylor likes military history while Schmidt is more into English.
"I read to the point I don't get other stuff done like homework," she said.
Carson recommends the activity to kids who enjoy trivia and challenges and who want to learn more about the world around them.
"Quiz bowl works your brain in every aspect," he said. "It will make you a better student and more well rounded."
In Teresa's mind, good quiz bowl competitors learn confidence and are willing to take a risk.
Answer A: Rupee
Answer B: On or around June 21, also known as the Summer Solstice.
Answer C: False. The Southern Hemisphere has more water because its northern counterpart is made up of more land.

There's two good reasons why you might never have noticed Minox. The first is that it's not the biggest name in the imaging world and the second is that they also happen to make the smallest cameras on the market as well.
While analogue and digital spy and novelty micro-cams might not be everyone's thimble of espresso, what will pique most's interest is the Minox PX3D concept camera on display at Photokina 2010. As well as being the tiniest 3D stills camera so far, it's also the first we've seen not with two lenses but four.
Developed by Daimler for in-car sensors, the auto-manufacturer discovered that not only did more cameras mean better 3D imaging but also that arranging them virtically meant for a more accurate representation as well.
Minox has put this into practice with an array of 4 x 5-megapixel 9mm lenses with the company looking to bring the PX3D to market in the summer of 2011. When asked what the biggest challenges had been, unsurprisingly, Minox told Pocket-lint it was how to cram all the sensors inside the case.

Charters May Help Solve Detroit's Education Woes
Gaps in educational outcomes between Detroit Public Schools students and those in other school districts around the state have been a sad, prolonged reality. Differences between schools within the city, however, are less well known. These differences can be found in the Mackinac Center's new Elementary and Middle School report card. The report card compares student educational outcomes while controlling for socio-economic status.
The results in Detroit show large differences between conventional public school performance and public charter school performance. The Center's report card provides the latest evidence that students in Detroit's charter schools are learning more than their counterparts in conventional public schools. On this report card, a score of 100 indicates average performance. Schools that performed better than expected given their student populations received higher scores, while schools that performed worse than expected received lower scores.
Stay Engaged
Though eight DPS schools made the Center's list of the top 100 elementary and middle schools, and DPS' Thirkell Elementary was ranked No. 1, many of the district's schools are struggling. Detroit's conventional schools received an average score of 95.7, compared to an average of 98.4 for Detroit-area charter schools. While both groups of schools did worse than expected after adjusting for student background, charter schools posted significantly higher scores.
Earlier this year, Stanford University's Center for Research on Education Outcomes found that students in charter schools across Michigan outperform their peers in conventional schools — with this finding being particularly strong among low-income, African-American students. According to the study, the typical Michigan student in a charter school "gains more learning in a year than his traditional public school counterparts, amounting to about two months of additional gains in reading and in math." The study also notes that these gains are "more pronounced in Detroit."
While there is still much to be done to improve the educational choices available to Detroit children, these findings suggest that the educational outcomes of disadvantaged students would improve if more of them could attend charter schools. To this end, DPS should convert some of its worst-performing public schools to charter schools, and those schools should be managed by charter companies that have a successful track record in Michigan.
As the report card shows, charter school authorizers also matter. Of charter schools in Detroit, those authorized by DPS scored only a 94.37, while those authorized by non-DPS entities scored 99.18. This finding is not unique to our report card; a study commissioned by the Michigan Department of Education found that the highest-performing charter school authorizers in the state were Grand Valley State University, Lake Superior State University, and Wayne RESA, among others, while the worst included DPS and Eastern Michigan University. [1]
Converting the worst performing schools in Detroit into charter schools would have a dual benefit; it would allow students in Detroit to attend better schools in the same location, saving them the burden of additional transportation costs, and it would allow DPS to focus more on improving its remaining schools.
[1] This study did not account for student background, so authorizers of more schools in disadvantaged areas may have been unnecessarily penalized.

We never had anything against Justin Long. So imagine our surprise when we heard the seemingly-sweet actor made a few ridiculous, insular comments in a recent interview with Vulture.
When the reporter asked Long—who starred in He's Just Not That Into You—about his knowledge of romantic comedies and brought up Natalie Portman's role as a doctor in No Strings Attached, Long quipped (sarcastically): "Yeah, she looks like doctors, doesn't she? She looks like most I've been to."
Huh. Long then brought up Cosmo covergirl Rachel Bilson's role on Hart of Dixie, on which she plays a med student graduating at the top of her class (and also happens to be very pretty.)
"...Rachel Bilson in that show she's in, Hart of Dixie. She's such a doctor," Long laughed, again sarcastically. "I'm glad she finally got to play that role because every time I've seen Rachel Bilson, I've always been like, 'Oh, she has this doctor thing about her.'"
Let me be the first to say: WTF?! Is Justin really saying that because Natalie and Rachel are beautiful, and lust-worthy, they aren't "doctorly?" Slash, that in order to be doctors, women have to look a certain, uglier way? Clearly this is absurd and not true.
My neurologist, who is one of the most intelligent and well-spoken women I've ever met (she's a neurologist, for goodness sake!), looks exactly like Heather Graham in Austin Powers. At Cosmo, we know gynos of all shapes and sizes; some wear Ferragamo kitten heels and happen to be smoking hot; most look like real women. All of them went through a solid decade of schooling to dedicate their professions to women's heath. So who cares what they look like?
As for the implication that pretty girls can't be brainy, not only is Portman an Oscar winner, but she's a Harvard graduate who co-authored two research papers and contributed to a frontal lobe study while a student. Not to mention Natalie, who Long has basically implied is too pretty to be a doctor, had her high school paper, "A Simple Method to Demonstrate the Enzymatic Production of Hydrogen from Sugar," co-authored with two scientists and published—when she was a teenager.
I don't know about you, but that sounds like the stuff that doctors are made of!

Kcal 130 Fat 5.6g Fat(sats) 2.9g Carbs 19.7g
It has been over two years since I last reviewed a Paynes Poppets product and if you look back at the some of the scores I gave some of the flavours then it is debatable whether that is such a bad thing. Truth be told Paynes Poppets have never been a favourite of mine though I must say I was rather intrigued by this new Choc Chip Cookie flavour when I read Cin's review over at Foodstufffinds last year. Having finally tracked down a pack for myself I was actually relatively looking forward to the prospect of 'chocolate chip cookie pieces covered in milk chocolate'
These Choc Chip Cookie flavour Poppets came in a 28.0g pack that held several round ball pieces that were about twice the size as your average chocolate covered raisin/peanut. One thing I definitely have to comment on positively about these is the fact that Paynes have really upped their game in regards to their packaging and I liked the new Poppets logo and realistic visualisation on the front of the pack. Conversely one thing that hasn't changed about Poppets in the last two years is the fact that they still don't offer much in the way of an aroma though I did find the inner look of the cookie centres quite appetising when I went to the effort of cross-sectioning one.
Frankly given my previous experiences with Poppets I really wasn't expecting much and having now tasted these that was probably a good thing. Much like I have experienced in the past the outer milk chocolate was pretty non-descript in terms of flavours and only offered quite a mild sugary taste that lingered as the waxy melt developed. The chocolate wasn't horrible in any manner but neither was it particularly taste or left me wanting more. Of course what was at real interest here were the inner cookie centres and just like the milk chocolate they were similarly bland and flavourless. In their defence they did have the crunchy texture of cookies but unfortunately they didn't bring anything of note to the taste apart from the odd hint of wheat and brown sugar. In regards to nutrition and fulfilment it is worth noting that these were pretty light on the calorie side of things though it wasn't as if they provided much satisfaction for their 130 calories.
Overall this was pretty much a story of same-old, same-old with Paynes Poppets here. Much like I found with several of the other variants from the range these Choc Chip Cookie Poppets lacked flavour and were frankly pretty bland and limp when it came to the taste. Reflecting on this now I guess this it is all the more disappointing considering that the centres both looked and felt like cookies, but just didn't bring any sort of cookie flavours to the party. I was expecting these to taste like chocolate covered Maryland Cookies but the cookie element was just AWOL which sorta begs the question 'were these really worth eating in the first place?'. I will leave you to ponder that question but if I were to suggest a suitable replacement I would suggest some of the flavours from the Taste of Nature Cookie Dough Bites range as a great alternative. Having said that given that these are as cheap as chips it won't be like you will lose too much sleep if you buy a pack and decide you don't like them.

Home Healthcare Community Commends Efforts to Combat Healthcare Fraud & Abuse
Feb 11, 2013, 04:52 EST
New HHS OIG report underscores need to prevent fraudulent payments before they occur
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Partnership for Quality Home Healthcare - a coalition of home healthcare agencies dedicated to developing innovative reforms to improve the program integrity, quality, and efficiency of home healthcare for our nation's seniors – today commended the Departments of Justice and Health and Human Services for the healthcare fraud recovery reported in the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control Program (HCFAC) Report.
"The outcomes reported today represent a positive step in the fight against fraud and abuse in our nation's healthcare system," stated Eric Berger, CEO of the Partnership. "Recovering payments that should not have been made is important, and we encourage lawmakers to advance policy reforms that would prevent such payments from being made in the first place."
The Partnership strongly supports program integrity reforms designed to target fraudulent behaviors, which are unfairly harming innocent beneficiaries and honest providers. The Partnership and other home health community leaders have developed a reform proposal that targets fraud and abuse while safeguarding beneficiaries and providers. The "Skilled Home Healthcare Integrity and Program Savings" (SHHIPS) proposal includes targeted reforms to prevent the payment of improper Medicare claims.
In developing this proposal, home healthcare community leaders carefully examined data analyses undertaken by DOJ and HHS officials to pinpoint healthcare fraud hotspots. Medicare claims data presents strong evidence that isolated pockets of home health providers are abusing the Medicare program resulting in unnecessary and avoidable program spending. For example, analyses of 2011 Medicare claims data show that nearly 90 percent of all aberrant Medicare home health spending is occurring in a handful of counties in just five states.
The SHHIPS proposal is also based on a successful policy developed by the healthcare community in 2009, which placed a 10 percent cap on Medicare outlier claims to stem what was considered to be unchecked fraud and abuse. Adopted as part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), this single reform achieved a 70 percent reduction in outlier costs, producing estimated savings of $853 million in 2010 – equivalent to $11 billion in savings over a ten-year period.
"The home healthcare outlier policy illustrates how targeted solutions can achieve significant savings while protecting innocent beneficiaries and compliant providers," added Berger. "The Partnership looks forward to working with lawmakers to advance policy solutions to stop Medicare fraud and abuse before it ever takes place."

I live in a country where it is
compulsory for a driver to get a car insurance. If the driver can prove that he drove for
5 years without claiming any accident (= non claim bonus), the cost of the car insurance
will be much cheaper.
1) I know that car insurance is not lawful in Islam. What a Muslim should do knowing that a)it is difficult and expensive for a Muslim family to use taxis or public transport b)you can be jailed for driving without a car insurance.
2) Some brothers have driven in their countries for 5 years without claiming any accident but they cannot prove it (by getting a non claim bonus from their former insurance company). Some other brothers did not drive for 5 years without claiming any accident. Is it lawful for these brothers to falsify a document (a non claim bonus) in order to pay as less money as possible to the insuranc
Praise be to Allaah.
After discussing this question with Shaykh Muhammad Al-Saalih Al-'Uthaymeen, we came up with the following:
What we understand from the question is that the amount of money paid for the insurance is related to the value of the car, i.e. what the car is worth when the insurance is taken out. What this person is planning to do is a kind of lying, but it is done for the purpose of reducing the unfairness to which he is being subjected, namely being compelled to take out Haraam insurance. If there is no harm caused to him or to the reputation of the Muslims by his doing this, then there is no sin on him if he does that because he is forced to. And Allaah knows best.

SEED Number:
Information on the destinations and attainment of school leavers from across Scotland
As part of the
National Improvement Framework for Education, the Scottish Government gathers annual information about children and young people's achievement in aspects of literacy and numeracy during
their broad general education (BGE). The BGE covers children's time in education from age 3 until the end of third year at secondary school [S3].
The information is based on teachers' professional judgements and was provided to the Scottish Government by local authorities.
The data shows the percentage of children within P1, P4, P7 and S3 who have achieved the
Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) level expected at their stage in reading, writing, listening and talking, and numeracy.
Teachers' professional judgement of achievement of a CfE level is based on all of the evidence they have gathered during the ongoing assessment of children and young people's learning. Assessment is part of everyday learning.
You can learn more about the National Improvement Framework and how learning is assessed during the BGE on Parentzone Scotland's
National Improvement Framework page.
In the past the media have compared data for individual schools and presented this as league tables. This implies that the schools which are at the top of the table are the best in Scotland and those at the bottom, the worst. This is very misleading for parents because schools operate in very different circumstances and cannot therefore be compared in this way. The context of a school must be taken into account to understand how well a school is doing.
The data relates to children in P1, P4, P7 and S3 from every publicly funded school in Scotland. A very small proportion of children have long term significant and complex additional support needs that mean it is unlikely they will progress through the CfE levels during their time in education. These children are recorded as 'child following individual milestones' and are included in the data.
Some children and young people in Scottish education learn through the medium of Gaelic. This is known as Gaelic Medium Education (GME). The collection of data on CfE levels reflects how children and young people learn in GME.
The achievement of a level in literacy and English of children and young people in GME is collected at P7 and S3 only. This is collected along with the levels of those in English medium education. This approach takes account of when children in GME begin to formally study literacy and English as part of the curriculum.
The assessment of numeracy of children and young people in GME is through the medium of Gaelic and is reported for those learners at the end of P4, P7 and S3. Teachers use their judgement, and where appropriate, may assess achievement of a level in literacy and English, and numeracy for children in GME in earlier stages than those reported to the Scottish Government. This gives teachers the flexibility to take account of whether children have started to learn Gaelic as part of GME in nursery or P1.
Where children have not been assessed at a particular level in GME they are not included in the data publication.
The presentation of the achievement of a level data has been very carefully considered to ensure that individual children cannot be identified. For some very small schools this means that data cannot be made public at all.
To preserve the confidentiality of individuals, asterisks (*) have been inserted in the tables instead of figures for some schools and categories. This is where percentages are based on data for more than 0 but fewer than 21 pupils. For results based on 21 pupils or more, percentages of children achieving a level have also been presented in bands (0% to less than 10%, 10% to less than 20%, etc) rather than providing the exact percentage for each school.
You can find links to the national, and local authority and school level data on the achievement of CfE levels on the
Scottish Government web page.
If you have questions you may find it helpful to talk to your child's school.
In order to help raise attainment and support school improvement, information is gathered annually on the attainment and destinations of school leavers across Scotland.
The information presented here is designed to give parents a view of how schools are meeting the challenges facing Scottish education today:
The data comes from the Scottish Government's online tool for educational professionals, called Insight. Insight presents attainment data from Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) accredited courses achieved by pupils during their senior phase (S4-S6). Awards gained before the senior phase are not considered in this data. Not all achievement awards are recorded in Insight.
The current performance data is not directly comparable with archived data due to changes brought about by Curriculum for Excellence and the phased introduction of new National Qualifications.For further background and technical information please read the
PDF file: School Leaver Performance Data - Background Information
All schools are unique, so to understand how well a school is doing it is important to look at a range of different data sources, together with information about the individual school. The information provided on Parentzone Scotland adds to that already provided by schools in their handbooks, standards and quality reports, websites, and regular communications with parents. All of these together are designed to help parents better understand schools and encourage communication between parents and school.
The best way to judge the performance of your child's school when using Insight data is to compare the achievements of young people in your school to those in the 'virtual comparator'. The 'virtual comparator' is a sample group of pupils from other parts of Scotland who have the same characteristics as the young people in your school. This is fairer than comparing your school with another because no two schools are exactly the same.
In the past, the press have presented the SQA examination results data for individual schools as league tables, which implies that the schools are the top of the table are the best in Scotland and those at the bottom, the worst. This is very misleading for parents because schools operate in very different circumstances and therefore cannot be judged in this way. For example, some schools may have a much higher number of children and young people with additional support needs than others and so this may affect the school's overall attainment. There may be fewer job opportunities for young people living in remote rural areas and so this could affect the percentage of pupils who achieve a positive destination in that school. The context of a school must be taken into account when considering how well a school is doing.
This measure is known on
Insight as the 'National Benchmarking Measure: Increasing Post- school Participation'.
The graph shows the percentage of
school leavers who entered a positive destination alongside the virtual comparator. Positive destinations categories are: higher education, further education, training, voluntary work, employment and
activity agreements.
This information on the leaver destinations of publicly funded school pupils is based on information collected in October of each year.
A key priority of Scottish education is to improve the employability skills of our young people. This is resulting in changes to the way the curriculum is offered. Many young people do fewer formal qualifications than previously, but benefit from stronger engagement with colleges and local employers. This leads to achievement awards and industry standard qualifications.
This measure is known on Insight as the 'National Benchmarking Measure: Literacy and Numeracy'.
One of the core aims of the Curriculum for Excellence is to improve the numeracy and literacy skills of our young people. The graphs show the percentage of school leavers who attained
literacy and/or numeracy at SCQF level 4 or better, and
SCQF level 5 or better. They show the attainment of school leavers from this school alongside its
virtual comparator.
Further information is available in the
background paper.
This measure is known on Insight as the 'National Benchmarking Measure: Attainment versus Deprivation'.
In many countries, including Scotland, levels of attainment are linked to the levels of deprivation in the geographical areas in which learners live. Education policy in Scotland aims to raise attainment for all learners and ensure every child has the same opportunity to succeed.
Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) enables the areas in which school leavers live to be mapped to concentrations of deprivation and grouped accordingly. SIMD rankings do not relate to individual learners or households.
The number and level of qualifications a young person gains by the point they leave school provides a tariff score. These figures are brought together to provide an average total tariff score for the school. Only the latest and best awards in each subject are counted in the tariff score. For example if someone has an award at National 4 and National 5 in English, it is only the National 5 award that will count towards this measure.
Like other aspects of achievement
tariff scores are dependent on the context of the school and should not be used to make comparisons between schools. To understand how well a school is doing in relation to the tariff scores of school leavers, you should compare the school to its virtual comparator.
The graph below shows attainment across school leavers by level of deprivation. (1 = most deprived areas, 5 = least deprived areas). The school's average total tariff score is shown below alongside its virtual comparator.
This measure is known on Insight as the 'National Benchmarking Measure: Improving Attainment for All'.
The graph shows the average total
tariff score of
school leavers alongside the data for its
virtual comparator.
School leavers' individual total tariff scores have been calculated and grouped into the lowest 20%, middle 60% and highest 20% of attainers for each school. The average total tariff score of each of these groups of school leavers is displayed.
The first table below shows the full range of SCQF accredited awards gained at SCQF levels 1 to 7 and provides the most representative view of the breadth and depth of awards. The second table shows the corresponding data for its virtual comparator.
When a pupil has been awarded a course at a SCQF level, they will be counted in the corresponding box(es) in the table. For example, a pupil gaining three awards at SCQF level 4 would be counted in the cells for:'1 or more awards' at 'SCQF level 4 or better';'2 or more awards' at 'SCQF level 4 or better'; ¬and'3 or more awards' at 'SCQF level 4 or better'.
They would also be counted once in equivalent boxes for:'1 or more awards' at 'SCQF level 3 or better',
'2 or more awards' at 'SCQF level 3 or better'; ¬and'3 or more awards' at 'SCQF level 3 or better'.
And similarly for 'SCQF level 2 or better' and 'SCQF level 1 or better'.
Only the latest and best awards in each subject are counted. For example if someone has a National 5 and a Higher in Mathematics, it is only the Higher that will contribute to this measure.
Schools that offer young people a curriculum based on a range of leaver destinations may have young people who sit fewer qualifications but who are better prepared, with more appropriate skills and experiences for the world of work.

Attendance and absence figures are collated every two years. They do not form part of the performance data included on Insight.
The data shows the percentage absences for the whole school, the local authority and all of Scotland.
National averages have been calculated from the figures for all local authority and grant- aided schools, whereas the local authority averages are based on local authority schools only. Further background information about attendance and absence data can be found in the
Notes for Attendance and Absence Data 2014_15.
Percentage of primary authorised absences for 2014/15
Percentage of primary unauthorised absences for 2014/15
Percentage of secondary authorised absences for 2014/15
Percentage of secondary unauthorised absences for 2014/15
Asterisks (*) have been inserted instead of figures for some schools and categories. This is because the figures could be misleading or lead to the identification of individuals within the school. You will see asterisks where data may reveal information about more than 0 but fewer than 5 pupils. An asterisk can therefore be in place where a percentage is very small, or very large. For example if a school has 4 pupils that go on to a positive destination then their percentage will be represented by an asterisk. Similarly, if a school has 4 pupils who do not go on to a positive destination then their percentage will also be represented by an asterisk. In both cases the asterisk protects the identity of the individual pupils involved.
Within the 'Attainment in the context of deprivation' data, asterisks can be inserted if the numerator or denominator is less than 5, or if suppression of another variable also requires suppression here.
Asterisks may also be inserted to prevent the identification of pupils in another school in the local authority.
The symbols (##) indicate that the school has recently opened or merged with another school and this information is not available.
Where the school is a Junior High no data is presented.
Where a school has been unable to provide information related to any of the above, or where there are outstanding queries with regards data provided, the relevant entries are shown by an 'X'.
Totals shown in tables may not add up to 100% due to the rounding of percentages
Data which used to be held on the scottish schools online

Authority in Auburn: It belongs to selectmenEDITORIAL
January 26. 2013 10:04PM
In August, Auburn selectmen adopted a new policy that allowed the town and its contractors to use "minimum standards of traffic control" on some roads. The intent was to allow the town to reduce its use of police officers to direct traffic at road construction sites.
That intent was so clear that police officers unionized in response to it. "I guess you could say the decision about the flagmen was the tipping point," Officer Calvin Kapos said in August. Kapos and Sgt. Charles Chabot organized the unionization effort.
The next month, Auburn police issued a citation to Advanced Excavating and Paving, the town's contracted paver, for using a flagger instead of an officer at a road work site. The officer who prosecuted the case for the department was Sgt. Chabot. In December, Sgt. Chabot said the police department wanted "the judge to interpret the ordinance" so "we'll find out exactly what the ordinance is and what it is not."
But that was clear from the start. To make it even clearer, the selectmen voted unanimously in October to declare that they meant the contractor was not obligated to use police officers for traffic control. Police not only pursued prosecution, they issued another citation.
Last week a circuit court judge agreed to the defense's request to dismiss the case because not only was there no requirement for the contractor to have a police officer directing traffic, the contractor did not even have to use a flagger, as that exceeded the "minimum standards" language in the ordinance. The town administrator praised the decision and said it reinforced the selectmen's intention.
As was obvious from the start, the police had no case against the paving company. This was a last-ditch effort of the department to bypass the selectmen to save the officers' special duty pay. Badges, though, are no substitute for election to office by the people. That officers used their law-enforcement powers to drag people into court for the purpose of undoing the duly enacted will of the elected board is stunning and cause for great concern.

She's a survivor—a difficult feat in show business, even if you did leap to fame at age 19 as Beyonce's sidekick.
In just a few short years, Rockford native Michelle Williams went from directing church and community choirs to winning a Grammy as part of pop trio Destiny's Child. Since then, in addition to her work as a solo gospel and R&B artist, Williams has spent some serious time on stage--in the title role of Broadway's "Aida," as Roxie Hart in the London production of "Chicago" and as Shug Avery in the national tour of "The Color Purple."

Craft Beer: Still Booming, Still Small
"On average over the past two years, 1.2 craft breweries opened each day," reports the WSJ's Rani Molla. Craft brewers now produce about 15.6 million barrels of beer a year, up from less than two million barrels in the early 90s.
And while the rise of craft beer has been well documented, and its presence among the Budweiser and Coors in your local store seems prominent, it's still a small part of the market: smaller even than imported beer, let alone the mainstream American stuff:

Drew Barrymore fought back tears in an emotional TV interview as she vowed to give her newborn daughter the stable childhood she never had during her own troubled upbringing.
The Hollywood star opened the doors to her home in Montecito, Calif., for talk show host Oprah Winfrey and showed off her four-month-old daughter Olive for the cameras.
The star also discussed motherhood and teared up as she promised to always be there for her little girl.
Barrymore told Winfrey, "I will be there at 3pm in the school line waiting to pick her up. That is first and foremost. I think that's, as a kid, what I craved the most… just believing that that was going to be there – (my mother) being there in that school line. I think the world offers so many wonderful varieties of obstacles, but that shouldn't be one for kids… the worry that 'my parent won't be there'."
The former child star, who emancipated herself from her mother Jaid as a teen, also explained her decision not to invite her mum to attend her wedding to Will Kopelman last year.
Barrymore added, "She was not there, which was very hard. We both discussed it and thought it would be best (for her not to come)."
During the candid chat, which aired on Sunday night, Barrymore also admitted she worries about Olive discovering her wild child past.
She explains, "I will absolutely instill in her that you cannot be ashamed of the journey that it took to get where you are if you are proud of yourself. But I will also try to instill in her that I did not have guidance and that is why I lived my life that way. And although I am proud of it and I don't want to spend the rest of my life regretting it, there is no option for her to take that path because she has guidance."

Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Athens and elsewhere in Greece in the fourth general strike this year against tough austerity measures to tackle the Greek debt.
More than 20,000 Greeks demonstrated in Athens and thousands protested in Greece's second largest city, Thessaloniki. The general strike also shuttered schools and grounded ferry and train traffic.
The Greek government announced unpopular new cuts in salaries and pensions in exchange for a $135-billion package of loans to help it tackle its huge public deficit and debt. Speaking in Beirut, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said the loans meant Greece would be able to honor its debt repayments.
"But above all, this package, this security, has given us the time to make the major changes and reforms we need," he said.
Papandeou also noted the European Union as a whole has come up with a last-ditch rescue plan for other struggling European economies worth about a trillion dollars.
But analysts and speculators remain uneasy about Europe's ability to handle its financial crisis. Calls for tougher financial regulation by Germany and top EU officials have also gotten mixed reviews. And U.S. officials have voiced concern that Europe's debt crisis poses a risk to America's economic recovery. The general anxiety has translated into steep drops in the stock markets and the value of the euro currency.
But German Chancellor Angela Merkel called again for tougher regulation, urging the international community to send a "message of strength."
Mrs. Merkel also said she would campaign for a tax on the financial markets at a June G-20 meeting in Canada.

Each school has its own team and a plan for preventing and responding to a variety of situations. School staff and others throughout the district can support students during and after an incident. During a situation at a school, the principal will focus on ensuring students and staff are safe. He or she will monitor possible risks and coordinate the response.
If there is an unsafe situation at or near a school, the school may go on lockdown. Schools have lockdown drills several times a year. During a lockdown, we ask students to closely follow teacher and staff instructions. When needed, we work closely with law enforcement to keep students safe.
You may hear of two types of lockdowns at a school:
Full lockdown: When there is a serious threat to a school, school staff will announce a full lockdown. External and classroom doors and windows are locked. Staff will direct students away from doors and windows and give other instructions to increase safety. Students will be asked to silence their cell phones and other electronic devices. This will help keep them safe and avoid overwhelming cellular networks.
Modified lockdowns: Schools may go on modified lockdown when there are threats in a neighborhood, but not directed at the school. This may happen when law enforcement is chasing a suspect or when criminal activity is reported nearby. Schools will lock entries and exits, but classes will go on as normal.
We will notify you about lockdowns through phone messages and email. Please be sure that you keep your contact information updated with your child's school to get these notifications. Please understand that the information you see on social media or other sources may be inaccurate. Often, the best information available in one moment may be different hours or even minutes later. We will share the most accurate information available.
We know that you will likely want to be with your child as soon as you hear of a possible threat. However, please understand that it may not be safe for you or your child if you immediately come to the school. We need to ensure that emergency responders can easily access the school. We also need to account for every student who came to school that day.
We will notify you as soon as it's safe to pick up your child.

Using Primary Sources: Analyzing a Melville Story
Scholars In Action presents case studies that demonstrate how scholars interpret different kinds of historical evidence. In this case, you can listen to historian Hans Bergmann interpret "Bartleby, the Scrivener," a short story by Herman Melville that was published in November and December 1853. The story details a copyist in a New York City legal office who refuses to perform any other work asked of him.

Teaching Guide: Reading Picture Book Biographies
Picture book biographies can provide young readers with a great deal of information. Yet without a focus for reading, students often pay attention to interesting details and tidbits—what's been called the "terrific specifics"—rather than the big ideas in history.
"Well-behaved Women [and Men] Seldom Make History: Reading Picture Book Biographies" focuses students' attention on two main ideas that promote historical thinking, including understanding historical context and understanding individual efforts that promoted social change. Continue reading here.
Issues and Research
Research Highlights: Columbus, Exploration, and the Idea of the Flat Earth
Rather than presenting a story of Columbus's journey to his students, Bob Bain (now a professor of History Education at the University of Michigan's School of Education) first elicited student ideas about the voyage and its context. After hearing students recall the standard flat-earth story about Columbus, Bain asked them how they knew what they supposedly knew. What evidence did they have for their Columbus stories?

TAH Grants
Project Spotlight: Essential American History
In St. Louis, Missouri, a three-year Teaching American History (TAH) grant, Essential American History, fostered professional development to increase content knowledge and pedagogical skills. Eighth-grade teachers focused on the Civil War and Reconstruction. Lesson plans grew out of study tours with scholars from the Civil War Preservation Trust and scholars from the Center for the Study of the Civil War. During the summer of 2007, teachers traveled to Springfield, Illinois, for work at the Lincoln Library and Museum. More...
Professional Development
Digital Tools: Interactive Whiteboards
What Is It? An interactive whiteboard (sometimes called Smart board or Promethean board after two prominent manufacturers) lets you turn your computer into an interactive chalkboard for presentations and activities. It's a touch-sensitive screen displaying your computer screen, connected through a standard USB plug and a digital projector. You can write and draw on the board—and so can your students—so that lessons engage the entire class. Learn more about interactive whiteboards here.

Susan Spicer's Pan-Roasted Chicken Breast with Vinegar, Mustard, and Tarragon Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Adapted from Susan Spicer's Crescent City Cooking
Why I Picked This Recipe: Honestly, this is one of the only recipes in the book that can be completed in less than 30 minutes. I didn't have a lot of choices. That it was delicious and relatively easy was just a bonus.
What Worked: The chicken is cooked well, and the sauce is flavorful, but the best part of this recipe is how they come alive when combined. The sauce accentuates each bite, making the chicken taste even meatier than it did before.
What Didn't: The sauce never quite thickened in a way that was described in the recipe, so mine was a little thin. But it still tasted great, so I didn't worry that much about it.
Suggested Tweaks: The only suggestions I have are side dishes to pair this with. I roasted some asparagus, though any number of vegetables would work.
Read more: Susan Spicer's Pan-Roasted Chicken Breast with Vinegar, Mustard, and Tarragon
- Yield:serves 4
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:30 minutes
- Rated:
- 4 boneless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each), with skin still attached
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil or olive oil
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 6 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons coarsely chopped tarragon leaves
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
Adjust the oven rack to the bottom third position, and preheat to 325°F. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Pour the olive oil into a skillet set over medium-high heat, and when just about to smoke, add the chicken breasts skin side down. Immediately reduce heat to medium, and cook until well browned on the bottom, about six to seven minutes. Move them occasionally to prevent them from sticking. Flip them, and cook until completely cooked through, about five to seven minutes. When done, transfer the chicken to an oven safe dish, and place in the warm oven.
Pour out any grease in the skillet. With the heat still on medium, pour in the stock and vinegar, and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Let the liquid reduce to about 1/2 cup, and then stir in the butter, mustard, and tarragon. Stir until the sauce is "slightly creamy," and then turn off the heat. If needed, add more salt and pepper to taste.
Divide the chicken breasts between four plates, and spoon over the sauce. Sprinkle the chives on top. I served these with a side of roasted asparagus.

Increasing the visibility of rural women and their contribution to food security
Marcela Villarreal, Director of FAO's Gender, Equity and Rural Employment Division, talks about some of FAO's recent efforts to promote action-oriented dialogue on rural women's empowerment.
Marcela Villarreal, Director of FAO's Gender, Equity and Rural Employment Division
What were some of the key issues you raised at the international conference on "Gender, Family and Peasant Farming", which took place at the University of Toulouse II – Le Mirail and was designed to facilitate dialogue between academic, development and teaching worlds?1
The rationale behind this conference was to investigate the links between family farming, community development and the environment by using a gender lens. More specifically, we were asked to propose innovative methods to address inequalities in various areas of focus, such as agricultural and environmental policies, or the management of natural resources. In this context, I looked at the importance of promoting gender equality within agricultural sector interventions and policies.
We know from FAO's latest State of Food and Agriculture report that governments, donors and development practitioners must be aware of the different impacts that policies can have on men and women – even when no explicit discrimination is intended. In many countries, women do not have the same rights as men - to buy, sell or inherit land, to open a savings account or borrow money, to sign a contract or sell their produce.
So, while some policies are designed to help rural women achieve their full potential as producers and decision-makers, many more fall short of this task, and only acknowledge their reproductive roles as mothers and caregivers. To help move past this hurdle, I am proposing a framework that can help to determine the level of gender-sensitivity of agricultural policies. This tool, which will be published in the proceedings of the conference, should be particularly useful to policy-makers in adjusting national, regional or local policies, so that they respond better to gender equality goals and avoid detrimental impacts on women and men.
At the OECD Forum 2012, the overarching theme was to find sustainable solutions to the economic and social challenges facing people around the world today. What key issues did you raise during the panel discussion on Feeding the world, sustaining the planet? 2
An interesting element of this panel discussion was the attention given to food loss and food waste. We know that, although enough food is being produced today to feed the global population, 925 million people still go to bed hungry every day. Feeding the world in 2050, when world population is expected to reach 9.1 billion people, will require us to make much better use of the food we produce, but it will also call for significant increases in overall food production – a target that must be achieved in environmentally sound and equitable ways.
We know that one way of feeding the world sustainably from here to 2050, is by addressing gender inequalities in the agricultural sector. Our studies show that if women had the same access as men to key productive resources we could significantly increase agricultural production. This, in turn, could have a major impact on the reduction of world hunger.
So what we must really focus on today, is revitalizing the agricultural sector, but also engaging people – youth, women and civil society groups – to ensure that producers and consumers throughout the food chain, including those who are vulnerable and food insecure, are effectively organized and represented in the policy process.
During the P2P Study Tour on Women in Agriculture organized by the EU Commission and the Caritas Congress on Global Hunger and Sustainable Food Security you also discussed the important role that rural women play in agriculture. These themes are directly related to FAO's work and mandate, so what do you hope participants took away from your interventions?3
For many years the agricultural sector was neglected and, over time, this has contributed to increasingly high and volatile food prices, as well as scarce livelihood opportunities for rural people in the agricultural sector. But following the food price crisis, and the agriculture-focused World Development Report in 2008, international attention has finally turned a little more towards agriculture and rural areas. In this context of renewed interest, we need to intensify our efforts to highlight rural women's issues. One of the best investments we can make is in building the human capital of women and girls – education, information and extension services are essential building blocks for agricultural productivity and economic growth.
Last February, the 56th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) focused its priority theme on the empowerment of rural women and their role in poverty and hunger eradication. This has created a great political opening and - I hope - an opportunity for governments to truly recognize that rural women's participation is needed to shape responses to development challenges.

Yabla is designed to act as an immersion workbook, improving students' language acquisition through regular exposure to real native speakers and consistent spelling and vocabulary practice. Set up your account in 4 easy steps:
Be sure to log in at the Yabla site of the language that you teach. Here is a direct link to each of our sites:
You can invite other teachers to your school's Yabla account by going to My Account then Manage School Account then Invite Students and Teachers. Email the provided link, or the link below to invite other teachers to your school's group.
Go to My Account at the top of the page, then click on Classes, and Create a new class. This can be anything that your students will recognize, such as "Spanish 2, Period 4" or "Advanced French".
It is strongly encouraged to create classes prior to inviting students, so students will automatically be placed in the correct class.
(You can do this now, or skip to Step 4 and come back to this later). Yabla automatically creates a unique signup link for every school so that students can easily add themselves to your classes. You can find this special link by clicking on My Account at the top of the page, then School/Group User Accounts, and then Invite Students and Teachers with Private Link. Simply copy the link marked "students" and email it to them or write it on the board in class. If you have other teachers in your school that want to set up teacher accounts, just send them the link marked "teachers".
What happens on the student side? When they go to that link, they will find their school and their class/teacher on a list. They will then create their own username and password, and their new student user account will automatically be linked to their teacher. As for fellow teachers, once they have set up their own account through the teacher link, they can then follow Steps 2 and 3 of this list to name their classes and add their own students.
Now that you are all set up, the most important thing to do at this stage is to try Yabla for yourself so that you'll have an understanding of how it will work for your students once you start to send them assignments. Watch a video of your choice and try the 'game' activities associated with it. To find a video, click on the Videos button at the top of the site page. You'll notice that you can find videos by subject, difficulty level, or by keyword searching. There are hundreds and hundreds of videos, with new ones being added every week.
Once you are watching a video, note the various features of the video player, such as the clickable smart subtitling which will pull up definitions and save any clicked word into your personal 'flashcard deck'. There are also unique playback buttons, such as the Slow play button which will slow the speed down to help learners catch difficult sounds and tonal changes.
Then try the activities under the Games button, such as the fill-in-the-blank (cloze) activity, and the vocabulary review. The fill-in-the-blank activity will replay 10 segments per round from the same video, but this time there will be words missing in the captions. The user must listen for the missing words and retype them into the captions correctly in order to accumulate points. As the teacher, you will be able to assign these activities and decide how many points you would like the students to get by a given deadline.
To create assignments, simply find any video you would like them to work on, and click on the Assign button beneath it to view the assignment options. You can create many or all of your assignments in one sitting, giving them deadlines throughout the semester. Or, you can assign one-by-one. All up to you! Deadlines and student scores will be recorded and available to you at any time within your account. Whenever students log in to their own student accounts, they will clearly see what assignments they have to work on, and when each one is due.
You will be able to monitor student scores and progress through your account's gradebook feature, which you can access by going to My Account, then Classes, and then Gradebook. If you have multiple classes, each will have its own Gradebook, and you can assign different videos to different classes.
Additional information can be found on the School Help page.

While we all enjoy the elegant look those tile and natural stone surfaces bring to our homes and businesses, most of us have no idea how to properly care for them. Tile, stone, and grout will eventually deteriorate without proper maintenance. Even after a few weeks of installation, tile and stone surfaces can begin to lose their luster.

Cleaning and Conditioning
Most types of leather furniture require regular conditioning to preserve their appearance. Generally, leather furniture should be cleaned and conditioned every 6-12 months depending on the type of leather and the environment in which it resides. Regular conditioning keeps the leather soft and prevents cracking. Check your warranty and care instructions to find recommended cleaning intervals specific to your leather furniture.
